چکیده

The addition of TGF-beta to cultures of LPS-stimulated murine B cells causes a approximately 10-fold enhancement of IgA production, yet causes a 10-fold decrease in total Ig production. IL-2 and, to a lesser extent, IL-5 synergize with TGF-beta to further enhance IgA production and partially reverse the inhibition of total Ig production. IgA constitutes only approximately 0.1% of total Ig in LPS-stimulated cultures, but that percentage rises to 15-25% in cultures to which TGF-beta and IL-2 are added. TGF-beta induces a substantial increase in IgA production from sIgA- B cells but inhibits IgA production by sIgA+ cells. This finding suggests that TGF-beta acts as an isotype-specific switch factor for IgA.

Transforming growth factor beta induces IgA production and acts additively with interleukin 5 for IgA production

Effects of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) on IgA production by LPS-stimulated B cells have been studied. TGF-beta itself could augment polyclonal IgA production in concomitant inhibition of polyclonal IgM and IgG1 production. Furthermore, TGF-beta and IL-5 additively augmented IgA production. TGF-beta exerted its activity early in the culture (by 2 d in a 5-d culture) and IL-5 was r...

Transforming growth factor beta 1 selectivity stimulates immunoglobulin G2b secretion by lipopolysaccharide-activated murine B cells

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been reported to induce immunoglobulin (Ig)G2b class switching, yet we observed strain differences in IgG2b secretion in response to this mitogen. Specifically, BALB/c B cells, unlike those from DBA/2, synthesized relatively low amounts of IgG2b relative to IgG3, IgG1, or IgM. This report demonstrates that transforming growth factor (TGF) beta 1, previousl...

A transforming growth factor-β regulable RNA-binding protein interacts specifically with germline Ig α transcripts

Isotype switching is presaged by the transcriptional activation of the heavy chain class gene (CH) to which recombination will occur. As a result, mRNA or germline transcripts from the unrearranged gene accumulate in the cytoplasm. Previous studies demonstrated that transforming growth factor (TGF)-β stimulated isotype switching to IgA in cultures of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)stimulated murine B ...

Interleukin 10 and transforming growth factor beta cooperate to induce anti-CD40-activated naive human B cells to secrete immunoglobulin A

In the present report, we have investigated the in vitro differentiation of surface(s) sIgD+ and sIgD- human B cells into Ig-secreting cells in response to various stimuli. sIgD+ B cells homogeneously expressed some of the antigens identifying mantle zone B cells, but lacked expression of germinal center markers, thus confirming that the B cell populations positively selected on the basis of sI...
